I'm addicted to writing.

People don’t fear the wind until it fells a tree. Then, they say it’s too much.

I was my class playwright and I wrote plays set in villages with kings and chiefs.My plays were about treason and betrayals. If they were influenced by Macbeth, they were also influenced by Nigerian plays I had seen and Village Headmaster, a television drama series I had watched as a child.

At some point, practicality requires that you reach out to people in the business. You have to take care of business if you value your work.

I never wanted to be a writer; I just had stories I wanted to share so I learnt how to write and kept going. If I could sing or paint, I would.

My accountancy experience could come in handy if ever I find myself in the right position. For now, I'm very happy to write.

I don't write non-fiction because I get bored. Some of my writing is autobiographical, but not the way readers imagine. I use my memory of settings, events and people. I weave history into my stories, but my narratives are made up.
